Former RNC Chairman @michaelsteele tells @mehdihasan of Trumpism "We want that crap as far away from the GOP as it can possibly be thrown.” You’re going to want to hear what he has to say about Sen. Lindsey Graham for yourself:

@MichaelSteele love your takes, but the #GOP is Tea Party Trumper’s party. Today’s votes shows the #GOP wants an Authoritarian King More Russians want democracy than #GOP members

Trump got 75 million votes - some would argue the strategy was right. The GOP still trying to workout how it keeps the 75 million turnout but lose the crazy part - difficult to do.
It’s called extortion. Any threat of a 3rd party terrifies the R’s because those potential voters will be coming from the Rep Party, not Dem or independents. Stand up to him & he will support$$ a 3rd party candidate to run against them. It will kill incumbent R’s. Think about it?
R’s are screwed! They bought MAGA & now they can’t get away & here is why. DT hints at starting a 3rd Party. DT raised over $550MM in contributions from election fraud fight. IF DT backs a few 3rd Prty candidates & say they get 10-15% of the vote those came from R not D voters
That’s called a “tease”, amiright?
Now that it's no longer of benefit to them. Suuuure.
